The world of teaching, though inherently rewarding, often places school staff under intense pressure. The workload is nothing short of demanding, with endless hours spent on lesson planning, grading, and navigating an intricate web of administrative tasks. Coupled with complex and time-consuming performance review structures and unclear progression opportunities, performance management can fuel burnout and contribute to soaring turnover rates.  

There are ways that schools can address these issues. With a new approach to professional accountability, teaching can transform into a profession that not only retains its staff but nurtures their growth and well-being.  

Transparency and equity in performance reviews is key to an effective process. Questions about pay and conditions often arise when the performance review process lacks clarity and equality. By underpinning your teacher recruitment and retention strategy with BlueSky, you can apply clear processes that are consistent for all school staff, and instil confidence in your teachers that their contributions, growth and efforts are being recognised.

Most teachers and school staff are motivated to work in the education sector for reasons far beyond monetary compensation – they want to contribute to society through their work. It’s about creating an environment that resonates with school staff on a deeper level; how is their work directly impacting the school and its students? 

BlueSky supports a broader approach that encompasses professional development, an autonomous culture, clear progression and growth, and visibility into how each teachers work contributes to school priorities.
